Steve,
You assume I have some fealty to the notion of "personal freedoms". Perhaps that is unwarranted. I just see no reason to be an ass.
>>I don't know you well Carl, but from what I do think I know, you are clearly *very* independent and *very* considerate of others and their personal freedoms. That sounds pretty *l*ibertarian to me FWIW.

-9,-8.1But I do think it would depend a bit on the day.Oddly, never thought of myself as a libertarian.I think some pretty strong *Fascists* co-opted the term "Libertarian" for themselves. My experience with the *L*ibertarian self-identified is they seem to lean toward a virulent extremist willingness to *assert their will* on others under the guise of protecting *their will from subversion* . When I was younger (more juiced on the hormones and rhetoric and appeal of competition?) I was more seduced by some of that. Now it just makes me feel systemically ill.

I don’t think this inclination is overtly authoritarian. However, a strong desire to maintain a social fabric could lead to policing mechanisms for them, and that brings in (say) the church. When a social network is more important than having any sort of purpose, weird things happen. Wired has an article on some crazies up in Forks, Washington that is worth a skim.

So this is metastasizing now, and there have been other decades when it wasn’t such a problem, or at least not as overt.
Is that due to demographic sorting? In more prosperous (or even just earlier) times, enough people stayed near where they were born that cultures got some mix of preferences, and you didn’t have whole regions “submitting too much to the authorities in their lives”. But when those who wanted out could get out, and did so systematically, the ones who stayed behind could create a tailored paradise for the preferences that had caused them to stay behind?

There’s a page on the 2020 election where they claim, among other strange things, that Warren is a right-leaning authoritarian. If that is true, which I doubt, it says to me politicians are mirroring the electorate in a very obscure way. And I am pretty sure I am not far to the left of Bernie Sanders.

I was pretty much dead center in the lower left quadrant, which was surprising to me. I would have thought I would be in the middle of the whole graph.
